POC 5's Official Dates Are: July 26-29, 2012! We're back to a Thursday to Sunday schedule this year--and yes, we will of course have our traditional kickoff and wrap-up celebrations on Wednesday and Sunday night!
Much of this website is still showing 2011 information. But you can still look it over to get a good idea of what we do. And be sure to check back for updates as we get closer to showtime! You can keep an eye on our "News" section and "Latest Updates" section (as well as our Facebook page) for up-to-date information regarding this year's show!
Play On Con (POC) is a four day fantasy and science fiction fandom convention held each year in Birmingham, Alabama--the Magic City!
We focus on four main areas for our attendees:
- Programming: Interactive and energetic events that welcome new fans as well as old.
- Gaming: The best board, rpg, live action, video, and card gaming available.
- Parties: Nightly (and daily!) hospitality events thrown by award-winning party hosts.
- Community: Active personal involvement with related fandom events throughout the year.
